Mainpine OCTO+ and CentOS v4
by John Warren 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

I've been having a problem with getting a Mainpine OCTO+ working on CentOS Version 4. I know at some point I'll have to recompile the kernel in order to access all 8 ports but something is still not right. Wvdialconf almost every will id all of the ports. All too often it can fine the modem on at least half the ports on the board. I'm starting to hear that something is not right on V4 when using the mainpine. System config: Dell 2650 dual Xeon with 2GB ram. Has anyone setup a OCTO+ on V4 yet?

providing drivers at boot time for SATA
by Jerry Geis 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

I just got a motherboard with the nforce4 chipset. Apparantly the PCI'ids changed for the SATA and the drivers are not loaded or found at install time. What can I do to provide them? I am using CentOS 4.3. Will those new changes to 4.4 handle this? Thanks Jerry

Problems with installing perl-Gtk2 from kbsingh repros
by Robert Moskowitz 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

I need perl-Gtk2 for TinyCA2. I find it on centos.karan.org After many misteps, I add bout kbsingh-Centos-Extras.repro and kbsingh-Centos-Misc.repro to /etc/yum.repro.d I do a yum install perl-Glib and it finally goes, adding perl-ExtUtils and warning me about user mockbuild does not exist. Then I try install perl-Gtk2 and it fails: yum install perl-Gtk2 Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package perl-Gtk2.i386 0:1.083-1.el4.kb set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: perl-Glib >= 1.082 for package: perl-Gtk2 --> Processing Dependency: perl(Glib) for package: perl-Gtk2 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: perl-Glib >= 1.082 is needed by package perl-Gtk2 Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Glib) is needed by package perl-Gtk2 It seems that Gtk2 needs a newer Glib. Where do I get it, or how do I fix this? And after I get this I get to build TinyCA. A test that I got that lesson down....

Kernel build on i386 and nohighmem forbidden?
by Linus Hicks 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

I looked in the release notes, but maybe I missed it. Is it not possible to build a kernel from CentOS 4.3 (using 2.6.9-34.0.1) with HIGHMEM support turned off? This is for a machine with 512mb. When I try to build the kernel, I get _etext undefined symbol on line 100 of pageattr.c in arch/i386/mm. Linus

CO 4.3 + SATA + udev removing /dev/sda
by Oliver Schulze L. 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Hi, I just installed CentOS 4.3 on a PATA drive and later installed 2 SATA2 (300mbit/s) disk drives. The patched sata_via driver detect the drives and I can use them, but only if I manually create the /dev/sda and /dev/sdb files using mknod. My question is: why udev does not create /dev/sda at boot time? Many thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver(a)samera.com.py>

Installer ISO with testing kernel?
by Bart Schaefer 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

We're trying to install CentOS 4 on an ASUS P5RD1-VM motherboard, which has the ULI M1573 chipset. This means we need the sata_uli driver, which will be in RHEL4u4 and thus is (I think) in the testing kernel currently available from CentOS. However, that doesn't get us past the fact that the installer doesn't recognize the drives. Does anyone have a recommendation for how we can get this install to work? Can we somehow build an ISO containing the testing kernels? Any other suggestions for how we might get CentOS up and running on this machine before the release of 4.4?

Vnc Problems
by Mace Eliason 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Hi I have a Centos server running and have been vncing into it for a couple of months. A while back I was admining another server thru it using firefox. The browser crashed and several services crashed in Centos as well. Ever since then I get the bottom menu in Gnome but none of the open programs show up in it. So If I minimize a program it is gone, and I can't open it again from the desktop. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this. Thanks Mace

unable to write files bigger than 4GB over NFS
by Tony Schreiner 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

This may not be a CentOS problem, because I'm in a mixed environment. But I put it out in case anybody has any thoughts. I recently replaced a file server, which was on a Pentium III based system running 32-bit CentOS 4.3, with an Opteron based system running Fedora 4. The NFS clients are all CentOS 4.3, some are 32 bit and some are 64 bit. Since the replacement, when I try to write a big file from the 32bit CentOS boxes over NFS to the server, I get "filesize exceed messages" at 2GB. However this used to work with the old server. And I can write big files if I'm logged on to the server. One more oddity, the shared file system on the server is xfs formatted; if I instead mount a reiserfs file system I can successfully write. This part does not make sense to me. And one more, I can write large files from a 32-bit Fedora 4 system to the server over NFS, just not from 32-bit CentOS. I'm exporting with (rw,async) and mounting with (bg,rsize=8192,wsize=8192) Is there some interaction between nfs and xfs that I need to know about? Thanks, Tony Schreiner Boston College
